A love letter to the deep red Jory soil that defines the Dundee Hills growing region of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. A lighter body with flavors of forest floor, bright red fruit and a mysterious minerality make this a classically Oregon Pinot with a big nod to the Old World.

Winemaker Notes

Funky Jory is a love letter to the deep red Jory soil that defines the
Dundee Hills growing region of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. A lighter
body with flavors of forest floor, bright red fruit and a mysterious
minerality make this a classically Oregon Pinot with a big nod to the
Old World. The wine opens with complex aromatics of dried cherry, wild
strawberry, damp earth, and a touch of baking spice aroma from the
sparing use of new French oak barrels. The finish is silky and long,
typical of Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.

Production Notes

The 2018 growing season began with a cool spring and moderate
rainfall, followed by a long summer — one of the driest on record in
the Willamette Valley. Luckily our vines in Dundee tolerate drought
stress well and daytime temperatures weren't excessive, allowing us
to pick our Pinot Noir at optimal ripeness.

Vineyard Notes

All the fruit for this wine comes from our estate vineyard in the
Dundee Hills where our vines grow in — not surprisingly — red Jory
soils. Rich in nutrients and high in clay content, this basalt-based
volcanic soil produces Pinot Noirs with high acidity, softer tannins,
and a red-fruit flavor profile.
